Dear Family & Friends,

Happy New Year!

Wow!  It's been so long since we updated this website - there are now many activities to mention!
We're going to let the individual pages under the section "Winter '11/'12" give the details but suffice it to
say we've been moving almost non-stop since 9 Nov '11 when we left
TwoLoose in Almerimar, Spain.

Highlights of our Winter Travels To Date:
Celebrated Christmas with AB's Mom in Everett, WA.
Rang in the New Year in Seattle w/ Great Friend JW & AB's brother Jeff & Sister-in-Law, Joanne (J&J).
In JAX, had dinner and caught up with our cruising mentors - Stephanie & Pete of S/V
Brilliant.
Met with Ms Flo & Ms Irene of Bellingham, WA - very gracious & patriotic Bellingham Bay WAVEs.
Shared Thanksgiving Weekend with PJ's two youngest daughters and their families.
Enjoyed a relatively painless, inexpensive MAC flight from Rota, Spain to Norfolk, Virginia.
Watched "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" & got hooked on Masterpiece Theater's "Downton Abbey"!
Drove across the country twice; 6 days going west and 5 days on the return - Whew!

Now we switch out our luggage as the clothes that made sense in the Pacific Northwest will be too
warm to wear in sunny/balmy
Isla Mujeres - located off the coast of Cancun, Mexico!  We travel there
tomorrow to spend about 2 weeks with PJ's eldest daughter Cindi and her family who live near the
world famous
Shell House.  While there, we will share a nearby rental with PJ's youngest daughter,
Traci & her kiddos - eager to escape the cold of Cleveland!  We can't wait to spend time with them!

Please be safe - Afloat & Ashore, Cap'n Pete & AEB
